“Sleeping eight hours from midnight to 8 AM is less effective than sleeping six hours from 10 PM to 4 AM.”
My Chinese herbal Doc, and Chinese girlfriend keep claiming this also.
I lost 40 pounds in 4 months, now 6’2”, 190, by changing the way I eat completely. But I guess I’m doin’ it wrong! I stopped going to the local restaurant for breakfast. Now I have a piece of fruit, one piece of toast, and my obligatory 24 oz of java. I have a small sandwich for lunch maybe 3 times a week, or just a piece of fruit. Stirfry for dinner. Usually rather late. I am going to bed earlier, and sleeping better. AND, I no longer have to take my daily dose of Prevacid! Cut out beef. Too hard to digest. If I had cut out my beer intake, I wouldn’t weigh anything at all!
Good luck with your diet. I can’t gain weight even if I tried.
